Staged to Sell: Before/After Photos

We received a call from the listing agent of this Short Hills, NJ home which had been sitting on the market  for 6 months with no respectable offers. The initial MLS photos were taken before the family moved out. The seller had very traditional décor which limited their target buyer.  

This is an example of the MLS photos - very traditional and taste specific:

Elite Staging and Redesign was called in after the furniture and décor were removed and we had a blank canvas to work with.

Living room before:

After: we chose light, updated furniture, art and accessories to neutralize the space, thus appealing to a wider range of buyers...

 

Before:

After: usually we take down window treatments but in this case they made the windows appear large and worked with the decor...

The master bedroom before:

After: We created a gender neutral pallet using both masculine and famine décor for balance

Before:

After:

 

The family room before:

After:

Kitchen sitting area with fireplace:

After

Kitchen before:

After: We warmed up the space with organic accessories...

This home went from very traditional decor to vacant to staged and I'm happy to report that it just went back on the market and has already received 2 offers after less than a week! This could be a bidding war.

Makes a huge difference when a home is professionally staged and these photos couldn't be more clear about that.  Great job!

You have a wonderful eye for detail... Kris.  The décor is stunning and beautifully arranged.  It's no wonder your staging generated multiple offers on this lovely home... you added a Wow factor!

Kristine, there is no argument that staging improves the attraction for potential buyers. Your photos clearly show the improvement. I am always amazed with buyers that will purchase a Florida home and think they can put their Early American furniture in the home. The result is typically disastrous.

It's like an entirely different property from when it was occupied.  What a great example of the return on investment of staging.
